    then get fans with light, its the easiest and cheapest solution :D

    I got an old Antec 900, if you want some thing on the cheap.

    You can pick up a set of cold cathodes as cheap as chips now.

    Or do what I do. Here is my LED strip kit fitted to the PC..

    Cost? £3.29.

    You get four strips. I only ended up using three. Note - braid optional and you'll need a male molex and a solder iron as they don't come with PC fittings. They're 12v.. Phobya sell the same thing for £7 each.

    In a word no, because 'decent' and 'festooned with garish LEDs' don't go together lol Could get a Corsair 230T in Rebel Orange but it doesn't have stupid LEDs on the front like the Galaxy. Though it does have orange LED fans.

    You just peel off some backing and stick them down. As I said though you do need to solder the wires.
